More Information & Frequently Asked Questions

Is my new greenhouse supposed to be watertight?

The short answer is no. Greenhouses are not designed to be 100% watertight, and all manufacturers state this clearly.

You may notice some water ingress at the corner joints, roof vents or along the base rail where it meets the foundation. This is perfectly normal. Over time, as the greenhouse “beds in” and small gaps naturally silt up, the amount of water coming in will usually reduce.

This should never be viewed as a fault. A little natural airflow and moisture movement is actually beneficial, helping to prevent a stale or stagnant environment inside your greenhouse. Remember, greenhouses are constructed very differently to conservatories or other fully sealed garden structures.

Why is there condensation inside my greenhouse?

Condensation is completely normal, especially in colder months when warm air meets the cooler glass. A little moisture helps maintain humidity for plants, but too much can encourage mould or mildew. The best solution is regular ventilation. Opening roof vents, louvres or the door for short periods will allow excess moisture to escape.

Tips for maintaining your greenhouse

Taking care of your greenhouse may not be the highest priority when there’s seeds to be sowing, but it is crucial for the well-being of your plants. Regularly cleaning your greenhouse can significantly enhance the growing environment by eliminating algae, moss, and grime. This not only allows more light to enter but also helps in managing pests and diseases.

For effective cleaning, it is best to choose a damp morning when the dirt and algae are softer and easier to remove. Prepare a solution of warm soapy water and use a brush or sponge to clean all of the surfaces. Rinse with a hose or pressure washer for thorough cleaning.

Additionally, don’t forget to clear any debris from the gutters, downpipes, and water butts to ensure proper water flow and prevent blockages.

If you spot any glass damage or parts not working correctly, just give us a call and we’ll happily assist.
